[LMS]Spa 2010, the "Le Mans Spirit" event ???

[Tom206wrc]

Hi,

The organizer of the next 1000km of Spa-Francorchamps in may, announced today there will be three Audi R15s, two Kolles R10s and four Peugeot 908s in this race, used as repetition for the 2010 24h of Le Mans race

Event not to be missed, there should be a lot of action netween the factory crews

I wish now Aston-Martin could come with at least two Lolas(+ the one of Signature) and also the japanese DOME S102(if accepted by ACO for Le Mans entry), also Pescarolo to come and run this event and Le Mans,...

well, Fernandez racing is trying to get a Aston Martin-Lola for ALMS.


I'm just hoping Peugeot isn't gonna wimp out of Petit, claiming they don't want to do the Intercontinental Cup. which I believe they just dont want to race Audi anymore, which is a reason why they banned Audi from Sebring as Audi wanted to race an updated car.

If Peugeot didn't want to meet Audi anymore they wouldn't plan Spa and even Le Mans :

I hope too they will be at PLM(if not the factory, why not the ORECA)

I believe ORECA will be back, but not with the Peugeot, but with the other car. it would be awesome if oreca and Peugeot would come, Signature Plus might be on the list for the Intercontinental Cup, so there is a AMR along with possibly Fernandez wanting a Aston also.

and with Kolles and Audi confirm, it could be one wild race

[Tom206wrc]

No Kolles, no Pescarolo no WR

But indeed a great fight in LMP1 to wait between the factory teams

What's up with the Signature Aston? I guess they aren't nearly as good in the driver department compared to the other Aston Martin LMP team. Why aren't they there anyway?
